[0017] overview

[0018] This article describes content-based snap points. Content-based snap points may allow a user to stop at a convenient point in the content, prevent overrunning of important portions in the content, and assist the user in manipulating and consuming the content.

[0019] Consider the following scenario, where a user wants to find a specific part of a news article that is related to the UK's coldest winter in 100 years, ie, the part of the article that deals with severe freezing of England's lake districts. Assume that the article requires 14 pages to render completely based on presentation size and resolution, and that the article includes four subtitled sections, one of which is "Lake District Frozen Solid". Typically, the user in this example doesn't know exactly where in the article the expected section begins.

[0020] In one of the traditional ways of moving through content described above, the user may choose to advance through the article page ...

Abstract

This article describes content-based snap points and techniques for using them. In some embodiments, multiple content-based snap points are used to stop at convenient points in the content, prevent overrunning of important portions in the content, and / or assist the user in manipulating and consuming the content.

Description

Background technique [0001] Traditional content interfaces allow users to browse content (such as news articles or document lists). Typically, these interfaces operate in one of two ways. The first way is to browse based on the amount of content that can be displayed to the user—for each user selection, the interface presents the next display page of the content. This can be thought of as advancing page by page, although pages are usually based on the amount of content that can be displayed to the user at that moment rather than content that has been organized into pages independently of the rendering size. Therefore, content rendered on a small screen, in a small window, or at a lower resolution may require many pages to be fully represented. Likewise, large amounts of content may require many pages, even for large screens, large windows, or high resolutions. Not surprisingly, navigating through content page by page is often slow and irritating for users. [0002] The sec...
